I'm still sore from a combat class on Sunday but hoping to go out for a 20min jog later and then I have yoga this evening so hopefully that will loosen me up a bit!

I got my confirmation email through today so that is me now officially registered, yikes! I am surprised at how nervous/scared I feel. I did the Edinburgh Moonwalk last year which is walking a marathon through the night but this is going to be so much harder!

I have told a lot of people, all the important ones anyway, so there is no backing out now!

Exciting stuff! I've only ever ran 10k do its good to have someone else in the same boat! I'm joining a local jogscotland group this week. Bit nervous but hopefully it will be good fun. Are you running for a charity or did you get a ballot spot?

I didn't do any running this weekend but did body balance and body combat yesterday for the first time in a while and I'm paying for it today, I can barely move!

Eek, I'm getting nervous that most of you have done half marathon distance before - the furthest I have done is 7 miles and that was a couple of years ago. At the minute I am up about 4 miles - but there is still 6 months to go - phew!

A few folk have mentioned the Non - Marathon runners guide - I have a look on Amazon and was hoping you could tell me if it's the one by David Whitsett or the Women's one by Dawn Dais? I would like a good book that I can use for advice etc and also to pick up when motivation is lacking!
